SPACEAS®

Think: spacious.

More Room toEncounter Reality.More Room toChoose.

SPACEAS is a developing body of thought about human agency, experience, relationship, choice and consequence.

What SpaceAs Is

I have spent most of my working life trying to understand people: what they see, what they miss, what they avoid, what they choose, and what happens when those choices meet reality.

It is an evolving attempt to understand how people can encounter reality more fully without unnecessarily giving away their capacity to choose what they do next.

What I’m Exploring

  • Human agency
  • Reality and interpretation
  • Freedom and constraint
  • Relationship and shared orientation
  • Action and consequence
  • AI and the human boundary

One Current Question

The Machine May Know. We Still Ask.

AI may eventually predict with remarkable accuracy what a person is going to think, feel or say.

When human experience is what we are trying to understand, does it matter that the information actually comes from the human being who experienced it?

I think it does.

That question runs through much of the work here.
